How Africa Developed EuropeAs succinctly put by Achebe “The last four or five hundred years of European contact with Africa produced a body of literature that presented Africa in a very bad light and Africans in a very lurid terms. It is therefore, shrouded with fabrications, lies and above all, distortions that European bigots created in order to discredit Africa. For those who have the indigenous knowledge of the people would understand how the history Europe wrote about Africa is against academic tenets due to the fact that researching on somebody living; and publishing the findings without his or her consent is totally unethical. To make matters worse, these bigots fabricated such toxic versions that sadly though have been taken as truth while they actually are mere lies that sought to justify Europe`s criminality against Africa. This is very important due to the fact that wherever winners write history of their victims, they commit many injustices to the losers as it is in the case of Africa which needs to write the history of the loser. 

        European bigots were able to dupe the world by fabricating all mendacities about Africa; and got away with murder for a long time simply because Africans did not rebut their “his-story”. HOWAFRICADEVELOPED EUROPE: DECONSTRUCTING THEHIS-STORYOF AFRICA, EXCAVATING UNTOLD TRUTH AND WHATOUGHTTO BE DONE AND KNOWN.Dispute this fact, Europe has never admit or appreciated the role of Africa in bringing about its development. Amukowa and Ayuya in proving their point above visited the history of his-story of Africa as it was dubiously authored by European. However, it is nothing but his-story of Africa which represents the European archaic, colonial and patriarchal Europe. Achebe's quote as seen above succinctly reflects on the big and true picture of what can be said to be behind the development of European, as opposed to the underdevelopment of Africa. 

        The naked truth about Europe's development has never truly come out for every eye to see how it came into being; because many bigoted European and partly Asian thinkers and writers told a one-sided story that, on the one hand, glorified Europe while it belittled and demonized Africa on the other hand. This was a preamble of the story of Africa and its his- story due to the fact that what is now known as the history of Africa is the product of his (European's) story with all its bigotry and fabrications. Hence the True history of Africa is still untold.

How Europe Decreated and Reinvented Africa Ready for Exploitation As Walter Rodney states the use of comparison criteria, "Africa today is underdeveloped compared to Western Europe, and existing functions are no longer through separate developments in Africa on the one hand and Europe on the other. It is not that it was achieved by exploitation”.For Europe, all the benefits of improvement come from the exploitative dating that existed and still exists between them and Africa. drfidel12@gmail.com0000-0003-0458-8596BOOK REVIEW     How Africa Developed Europe: A Review of Nkwazi Nkuzi Mhango's Deconstructing the HIS-STORY of Africa, Excavating Untold Truth and what ought to be done and Known136www.albertinejournal.org
